CNSNews: Donna Rice-Hughes on Latest Weiner Scandal: A 'Teachable Moment' About The 'Dangers of Sexting'

The Daily Mail and the New York Post reported last week that Weiner allegedly had started sexting with a 15-year-old high school girl earlier this year.

Donna Rice-Hughes, president and CEO of Enough is Enough, a non-profit organization dedicated to making the Internet safer for children and families, criticized former New York Congressman and mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner for his alleged “sexting” with a minor girl and advised parents to be cautious because “no child is immune” from sexual exploitation online.

The Daily Mail and the New York Post reported last week that Weiner allegedly had started sexting with a 15-year-old high school girl earlier this year. According to CNN, the New York Police Department, the FBI, and the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan have opened preliminary investigations into the matter.

The alleged victim lives in North Carolina, and the Western District of North Carolina’s district attorney’s office told CNSNews.com that it is currently reviewing the materials in the case.
